>> breaking news on the fox report. an international tloit with more than 300 people on board, crashes in san francisco and burst in flames. two people are confirmed dead and many unaccounted for. i am heather childers in for harris falker. we have continuing special coverage. the asiana flight 214 crash nothing the san francisco international airport. the fire chief confirmed fatalities at this hour. >> at this time there are two fatalities associated with the incident. >> how many are unaccounted for? >> we are still putting those numbers together at this time.

upwards for 60 people at this time. >> the boeing 777, it was from soeul, south korea caught fire. you could see thick black smoke billowing from the jet as passengers were forced to jump down emergency inflatable slides to safety. video showing the top of the s fusleage was burned away. poses of the tail laying in the runway. this picture showing survivors walking away from the wreckage that was remarkable. as we told you, not everyone got out. a team is is not to investigate what went wrong. this is not a live look at the airport. we are told that two-run ways have reopened. the airport right on the water south of san francisco.

and that is where we will find cloudia cowan wo is standing by with the latest. claudia? heather, mayor lee call today a tragic day for san francisco. and judging by the numbers, the tragedy will grow in scope. two people are dead and 130 people hospitalized and as many as 67 people still unaccounted for at this hour. officials making it clear it is a fluid situation. we know that many of the injuries, listen. >> we have seen burns, fractures, internal injures and patients who needed to go immediately to the operating room and patients who had to go in to intensive care. >> the weather was mild when the

flight was ready it land in san francisco, with throw -- 307 souls on board. the plane flipped over and skidded down the runway on its back and missed a united flight waiting to take off. somehow the crew deplayed emergency chute ands many people were seen scrambled to safety. dozens needed treatment for smoke and fire injuries. we are told that the pilot did not make any distress call before landing. federal agents have come out to say it was not a case of terrorism, but it was a te a terrifying day. the airport is slowly starting to resoum operations.

this is one of the biggest airports in the world. closed many hours and forcing flights to divert to los angeles. you can bet, it will take a long time for all of the flight schedules to return to normal a witness on a smaller plane that had just landed before the crash happen. they were kept on that plane for at least an hour and unable to get off and go into the airport there. i can see you are standing inside of the airport. were you able to speak to the witnesses or anybody that saw the crash? >> the closure of the airport meant for a lot of traffic, getting to the airport. by the time the crew and i a ratified, people waiting for the passengers to arrive had been

whisked away to a private waiting room to stay apprised of the situation. we heard eyewitness accounts including a man locally who was waiting to pick up his wife and daughter. and the daughter called him after the crash to tell him she and his wife, her mother were okay. we had not heard initial report was fatellities and now we know 67 people unaccounted for and two dead and hundred hospitalized. >> what about. we saw one plane coming in and landing and you mentioned two-run ways are open. and what about flights taking off? significant delays? >> absolutely significant delays. and a lot of the people wondering where do i meet my friends and family who were supposed to land here and lapded

elsewhere. airport officials are encouraging people if they are flying out to call the airline and check a head. the airport is open and that is good news. >> claudia cowan, thank you so much. we appreciate it. ntsb go team as it is described investigators who examine float crashes like this is on the way from washington to san francisco. they are holding a new's conference on the crash and this is what what debbie hersh authority man had to say about the investigation. >> the triple seven has been around a while and will be looking at everything when we get there. we have not determined what the focus of the investigation is yet. we have to get on scene to collect the factual information and do the documentation and

draw on the experts. as we have been telling you, investigators will have to try to piece together what went wrong. of course, weather is always of interest and for a closer look at the time of the landing. meteorologist janice is in the weather center. we are told that the weather was clear and there were light winds at the time of this. >> yes, and all of the investigating that i have done over the last several hours, proves that. we do have low- lying clouds on the coast. you can so the typogra ph y. and i looked for any marine layer or cloud cover that could hamper a flight coming in. we had chlor skies and winds were light out of the southwest

at eight miles per hour some cases nonexistent at the time of the crash. and we had conditions that were sunny with cludes in the area and 65 degrees which is usual for this time of year and the visibility was excellent. ten miles. and the crash 11:26 daylight time was good. i looked at all sorts of web sites and computer models to so if there was weather including cloud cover and in versions with the marine layer and it proves to be clear at this point. heather, they will look at weather conditions and going microscopic to so what the weather conditions were in the point of impact as the plane made landfall. >> one of the things they look at causing crashes like this is

microbursts and apparently that happens when there are thunderstorms in the area and there were none at the time of the crash, correct? >> yes. that is an intense down draft. microbusts typically happen with a thunderstorm in the area. and at this time there were no thunderstorms in the region. weather will be a factor in the investigation, but from all of the information that i received and i have gone on web sites and national weather service as well, it seems to me that weather was not an issue in this crash. >> and visibility was key, visibility upwards of ten miles per hour an the time. and pilots used visual flight

rules. it was a boeing 777, that type of a plane has been in service since the mid1990s and can carry up to 300 people over two engines and making it one of the most popular long- range aircraft in the world. there were 307 souls on board of this plane. andom nick what is the history of the boeing 777? >> there are eight aviation incidents since known 95. and before today, heather, only one with fatalities and that was in and a ground worker died from burns in a refueling fire. the 777 is considered the long work horse of the skies. and it is so popular.

and it has a range of 9,000 mills and can go to 17 hours plus. like duba i to l.a. they call it a wide bodied aircraft and societying throw & then throw societies in coach. and take 451 passengers in full compliment. it has two twin turbofan engines. it was entirely designed by a computer and boeings first fly by wire. in the cockpit it is all electronic ininstrumentation. they have had a history of fires on board and that caused a lot of interest in july 20th. it was one and they had a cockpit four parked in the gate in cairo and that gutted that particular plane. they are focus on a electric

fault with a sploi hose oxygen system. that may not be what they are look for example. there boeing came out with a statement saying that the company extends its concern for the safety of those on board of the asiana boeing 777 and provide technical assistance to the national transportation safety board as it investigates the accident, heather. >> thank you so much. dom nick is reporting live for us. >> our coverage continues after a quick break. we'll have reaction from survivors and officials and investigators that are pouring in and we are awaiting a new's conference expected to start within this hour. stay with fox news. diagram [ male announcer ] how do you get your bounce?

was it a mechanical problem that caused the flight it crash land? could it have been pilot error or are there other factors to blame? we know that two people died, others are still unaccounted for and 307 people on board of that flight. joining us by phone john scott who happens to be a pilot. john, i spoke with you earlier today. and it seems to be as more and more people describe what they think happen was as you described it to us earlier with the landing coming in and the tail hitting the top of the runway? >> yeah, it is pretty obvious

that the tail, the vertical tablizer and two horizontal stabilizers were sheared when there was a impact with the sea wall. the question is why? the fact that the plane was dessending 1400 feet a minute. that is a steep descent rate. you normally get that in guantanamo bay where they have to drop quickly on that base or in afghanistan where airplanes stay high to avoid hostile fire from down below. it doesn't so many that there was an obvious need for them to dessend that quickly. profeller planes when you add power, you get instant results and lift. but a jet engine, because of the design, it takes a while when

you add power to a jet engine, it takes a while and i am talking about seconds for that power to result in increased air flow over the winds. these pilots were coming down steeply and had to add power to try to get out of the quick descent, they may not have had enough time to get it done. >> john, we spoke with an eyewitness on board of another flight that had just landed, just prior to the crash happening. and she described unexpected turbulence when they landed. she said the pilot had not warned them and everybody on the flight were shaken up and their plane that was a smaller plane rocked a bit back and forth as it hit the runway. could there have been possibly in the weather conditions that we don't know about at this

point? >> oh, sure. janice dean would be an expert on that and sometimes in altitude highway up there is clear air turbulence that can rock an aircraft. the san francisco airport is surrounded by hills and you know, there is a gust of wind that comes over the hills and rolls and tumbles and that could have played a part in all of this. rarely is there any one cause of an aircraft accident. it is not where a plane flew along and the wing fell off. >> we have to determine why the plane was coming down so quickly. and i am glad you clarified 1500 feet a -- 1400 feet's minute. in terms of the fire. the left engine was ripped from the plane and landed in the

middle of another area of the runway there. that obviously made this fire not as intense as it possibly could have been? >> yeah, there is obviously in an aircraft like this. there are many, many sources of ignition if there is fuel leaking. you might remember the swiss air crash caused by the on board entertainment system and movies had a short, there was a short in the wiring and it caused the cabin and cockpit to fill with smoke and that caused the plane to go down. there are many different. it could have been the engine and it could have sparked the fire that consumed part of the fuselage. but the fact that the plane had the kind of landing it did and relatively intact is a testament

of how well built it is and how safe. >> and it is becomely intact except for the tail of the plane and one of the engines and the fusleage area that burned across the top and you can so directly in the cabin of the plane now. >> think of it. the planes, the landing speed for triple seven would be 175 knots and that is pretty close to 200 miles per hour. and for something to have come in that quickly and had that tail strike and be intact is a good thing. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. we'll be right back.

>> welcome back. we continue with the expanded coverage of the crash at the san francisco international airport. the disaster go team will be looking at a number of possible causes including mechanical problems and pilot error and weather conditions at the time of the crash.

the captain graduated in the naval and investigative aircraft accidents and thank you for joining us. >> it is it a plosure. >> captain nash, you have a source in the airport that is providing information to you. can you share that with us? >> actually, a friend of mine who is a captain for a commercial cargo cargo texted me and said the tower tapes are already up on youtube and you can hear the aircraft get cleared for landing and then the cockpit crew asked for assistance. that will have to be verified if that is a real tape. but what the chairman of the ntsb said we'll send a time out well and get factual data. what she is alluding to, factual data are things like the black

boxes out of the aircraft that give you the rate of descent and not interpadvertising of radar data that comes off of a commercial web site. what were the engines doing? spooling up or down. and the other thing is,ie witness testimony is notoriously unreliable in criminal investigations and specifically in the investigation of aircraft accidents. they are so traumatized. and there are reports that when the airport hit it ripped off the tail and the airplane flipped up side down. look at prefire images there are no scrapes on the top of the aircraft. i would be flabbergasted if it

turned out it spent one nano second upside down. but what people remember when they so something that horriveec. fire, smash and aircraft wobbly and holy cow. and that's why first reports are never as good or bad as they come in. >> that is an important point to make. what you are looking is a live shot from san francisco international where we have sewn the flights come in to the airport and landing. yet to see any take offs and two-run ways were reopened out of 4 and 2 are still shut down and clearly where the accident happen and that would be runway 2, 8, l. captain nash, i want to ask you about this. you are talking about the reports the plane coming in and the fire chief mentioned this.

their initial call, they were told they were responding to a hard landing. so that description, what they were told they were responding to in addition to the reports on the tower tapes, does that tell you that there was any indication that there was a problem, prior to landing? >> if you are sitting in the pointy nose of the airplane. you would characterize that as a hard landing. >> at the very least. >> it was a lot more than that. in naval aviation we call that a ramp strike. it was more than a hard landing, but at the time, being in the airplane, when that tail smacked down and ripped off, that took the front end of the airplane and slammed it on the runway and when it did that, it probably shoved the landing gear up in

the wings and so when they slid off of the runway, if you are sitting in the pointy nose, and you are up in the flight deck, as far as you know, you had a hard landing, you don't know that you ripped the tail off and damage and debris. all you know what you can see up front and that was a hard landing and so maybe that is what they call it and maybe what the tower is not the fire crew out. >> the four started after that call went out and initially it was a hard landing and developed into this. >> i believe so, heather, if you look at the images, you were showing a image at the left hand side to the fusleage. but you can so the smoke coming up from the right side. and the fire started on the right hand side. >> where the one engine was.

>> captain nash. we'll keep you here and we'll attack a quick break and we'll have information. president obama has directed his team to stay in constant contact with those investigating and responding to the accident. the president's thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those affected by the crash. we are awaiting new's conference and we'll bring it to you when it comes in. my insurance rates are probably gonna double.

but, dad, you've got... [ voice of dennis ] allstate. with accident forgiveness, they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. [ voice of dennis ] indeed. are you in good hands?

>> new information coming in on the crash of the asiana flight 214 in san francisco international airport. the boeing 777 from sul soul, south korea crashing while landing this afternoon. video shows that the fusleage burned off and engine missing and debris scattered on the runway. there were more than throw hundred people on the flight. two confirmed dead and some are unaccounted for and dozens are treated in the area hospitals. we are awaiting a now's conference in san francisco international airport at this hour. claudia cowan is live in the airport and joins us by phone with more. claudia? >> heather, as we await the following update and investigators with the fbi and

ntsb head to san francisco international airport to determine why the plane went down and killed two people. i can tell you 100 others on the jet are treated for serious injuries, at least ten in critical condition in san francisco general. that is the nearest trauma hospital to the airport and speaking to reporters earlier tonight, mayor ed lee called it a tragic day for san francisco. >> we are deeply saddened by the incident and our hearts and friends are with our friends and families of those affected. ladies and gentlemen, this is still a fluid and active scene, not everyone is yet to be accounted for. >> in fact, more than 60 people, perhaps as many as 67 people remain unaccounted for out of a total of three where are sen people including 61 americans

that were on board. 130 passengers were is not to the local hospitals. it is not known if the pilot. we don't know if there were 1 or 2 pilots are among the dead or injured. but we are told that there was no distress call made before the plane went down. when it did go down, eyewitnesss said the plane tried to land at an angle. and the landing gear was down and the plane was wobbly and crashed with a thud or bomb and lost the tail and flipped over and skidded down the rest of the runway on the back and some called it a mayor miracle that many went down from the chouts and many seen walking away from one of the worst plane accidents ever in the san francisco international airport. the planes are attacking off and a ratifying and some flights have been cancelled. and there is a lot of debris in

the crash site. and investigators will try to put those back together. they are going to want to talk to people on board andie witnesses who saw all of this from a distance and had good recall because it was so shock to so the plane land and break apart. as they try to find answers and get to the bottom of what happened here today. >> we spoke to captain chuck nash. he talked about the importance, the witness accounts as to what happened, but you know, just to as a reminder to everyone, that according to captainain nash, these witness accounts can vary greatly and they don't necessarily tell the story of what really happen and in order for us to get the full picture and factual account of what happened we have to wait for the ntsb to get there on the scene and fa a and fbi also involved

in the investigation and get the black boxes and find out the speed of the plane as it was coming down and witness reports saying it was coming down quickly and we need to see the black boxes and find out what they say in terms of the spode of the plane. and reports of the plane flipping over. captain nash pointed out if you look at the crash site, the top of the plane. you can so i burned out area. but we saw orth shot of that plane just after it landed. crash landed before the top of the nowsleage was burned across and you can so the fire had started from one side of the plane, but the top of the plane, there were no scrapes visible on that plane, the top of it. and so it doesn't a pore to be likely from that that the plane in fact flipped over as claudia

said. some witnesses say it skidded on the roof of the plane down the runway, that is one witness account. that does not appear to be the case. we know that two people did not survive. and there are several dozen being treated, some of those critical lein the san francisco main hospital there. ten critical condition and two of those are children. nine hospitals are involved in total treating all of those patients and unfortunately passengers are still unaccounted for. we are still waiting for the new's conference to begin. we are getting plenty of reaction from the fa a and asiana airlines for you. elizabeth is live in washington with more. elizabeth, what is the airline saying at this point? >> you are right. we read a tweet from asiana airline. thank you for your concern and support at this time. we are currently investigating,

and we'll update with news as soon as possible. our thoughts and prayers are with the passengers and flight crew on the flight. we hope to provide you with further information asap. this was is not out hours after the accident and same time the investigators are heading to the crash scene. >> elizabeth, what is next for the investigators? >> it is a long rod a -- road a head. they will study the poilt's performance and look at communication with air traffic controllers and weather and maintenance issues inside of the aircraft, take apart the data recorders and crash scone. the ntsb will work with the fa a and boeing and korean accident investigation board. when asked if it could have been a poilt error, one spokesman said it is to early to know what

caused the accident and there is a lost work to be done. the president is being updated on the state of the crash and the investigation. >> i will not let you go yet. but i want to update you about the runways. four runways in the san francisco international airport, as far as we know, no flights are taking off because of those flights being cancelled. and the runway involved was 28l. two-run ways were reopened. and elizabeth, do we know anything else about in terms of the runways and we know that they are on the bay surrounded by water. and are there any issues that you are aware of? >> that's the condition we have. the airport is gorgeous and last-minute you feel like you are going to land on top of the bay. but according to the ntsb there were no reported incidents

related to the runway. this is the first major commercial jet crash in the u.s. in more than a decade and the first jet airliner in the runway in the san francisco airport. there were four incident it is in the past 13 years but none of them involving the runway. heather, back to you. >> elizabeth, we appreciate the work you have done this evening. joining me on the phone is peter. thank you so much for joining us. you watched the pictures unfold as we all have throughout the day. and what are you taking away from the crash? >> i think there is two things. one is, the triple seven is a fabulous aircraft. it has a great reputation and record and ntsb and along with

boeing and the koreans, they will figure out relatively shortly what was going on. and the flight data recorder of the triple sen is one of the most advanced in the industry and monitors hundreds of aircraft operations and the voice recorder will be important. as your reporter said. the human factors and were they facing the challenge and did they handle it the correct way. they are important. the most incredible thing, you look at that aircraft and you can so how robust it was. and people walked away from that accident is really a testament to the way in which aircraft are designed and built today. >> and how quickly the crew was able to get the people off of the plane.

we heard the four chief earlier this evening speak about when they first a arrived on the scene they saw people walking off of the plane. but we know there are two ifitalities involved in the crash and if it was, we don't know if it is a tail low landing, are there safety precautions put in place for the boeing triple seven that allows for less damage to be done. >> tail strikes are not something that is common with the triple seven. tail strikes happen occasionally on planes. there was a common aircraft of a generation ago called the md

11. >> peter, i have to interrupt you because the nows conference is beginning and this is a news conference happening in san francisco international. >> we'll update information on passenger information for you 11:27. an incident on flight 214 and originated in shanghai and continued on to soeul on the way to san francisco. the boeing 777 aircraft and manifest with the number. 291 passenger and 16 crew for a total of 307. we have updated on the status of those passengers and crew and for that, i will turn it over to assistant deputy chief dale carns. >> good evening.

of the throw 0 sen souls on board. we had 181 transported to the local hospitals and of that 18149 were serious and in the initial victims transported from the scone. additional 132 were transported in the incident and triaged as they were the minor casultities. and we accounted for 123 people here in the terminals of the airport that were uninjured and remained in place and at this time, we have confirmed doa passengers on the aircraft. >> so those add up to 306 and we are working to confirm the last one. dale mentioned we have 123 individuals uninjured and processed in the airport as we speak. dave? >> thank you. at this time we are working with the ntsb on determining the

exact cause of the incident. there is currently and no indication that terrorism or criminal acts contributed to the incident. we are coping the flight ands passengers and crews and loved ones in our thoughts. >> i want to finish by talking about the status of the airport as a whole. we have four runways in sfo. we reopened two of the four runways and we are operating limited a arrivals and departners in sfo. we recommend passengers to check with their airline for the status of their flight before coming out to the airport today. thank you for coming, our next briefing it will be at sen time time 30 in the next location. >> good news there, and of the passengers that were deemed to be unaccounted for.

at this point it appears they are all accounted for with the exception of one. and there were 307 people on board of this flight. and 291 passengers and 16 crew. at this point, 306 have been accounted for and two fatalities. and we will bring back port golds who is the director of the national safety board. peter, in term was what happened and caused the flight to go down, there is little information available about that? >> and that is the way it is going to be for a while because until we get the data recorders and until we get a look at how the aircraft and the flight crew were performing, you will not know. the attention should be focused on what an extraordinary safe

aircraft this is. those people faced a tremendous violent accident and many of th away uninjured. that is a testament. 20 years ago, this would have been a different picture. it is the design changes that the manufacturers that put in at the recommend aegz of the ntsb & the recommendation of the faa that makes the aircraft as safe as it is today. people walked away and that is good news. >> flying does remain one of the safest forms of transportation. only two deaths worldwide for every 100 million passengers on commercial flights. that according to a government analysis of some sort. and as you are mentioning, just a decade ago, passengers were ten times as likely to die when

flying on an american plane. a lot of progress was made in making the flights and planes safer for the passengers on board. thank you for joining us and we appreciate your insight. >> our continuing coverage of the plane crash that happen in san francisco international airport. and an international flight coming from south korea, crash landed at 11:30 pacific time this morning. two fatalities. and 306 people are confirmed and still one person is unaccounted for. we'll continue to bring you the latest developments right after this brake. so stay with us. ♪ when you experience something great,ou want to share it.

the deadly crash of asiana airlines flight 214. joining me with his reaction is democratic california congressman eric swalwell. he represents california's 15th district including many san francisco suburbs. thanks for joining us. >> thank you, heather. >> what is your response to this crash and what would you like to say to people in your district this evening? >> it's certainly a tragedy and my families are with the families of those who -- my sympathy is with with the families of those who perished. we can focus a lot on what we wrong and we should emphasize

what went right. this is the safest airplane in the air today. i think that was dem stritd that only two fatalities that we know of right now occurred. the first responders, i really have to applaud their efforts. they were right there on the scene giving treatment and rushing people off to the hospitals. i fly in and out of that airport twice a week. i know that approach and i know that takeoff. i have a lot of questions about whether the ground control systems were working properly. they have the instrument landing system there just like most major airports for that runway 28l, and you know, i do have questions about whether that played a role. that's why the ntsb has their go team and they'll conduct an investigation to make sure everything was going properly in the cabin, that the aircraft had no issues itself and that everything on the ground was working. >> now, this airport, this is a large airport by any standards. in fact, sfo is the tenth busiest airport in the united

states, the 25th busiest airport, in fact, in the entire world. these folks working there know what they're doing and know how to respond and to respond quickly to save lives, correct? >> that's right. this is the first major crash at sfo airport, i believe, in over 60 years, so it is a relatively -- it is a very safe airport despite an area that has a lot of wind, has a lot of fog, even during the summer. but all reports today is that this was a clear windless day in the san francisco bay area. >> and the runways themselves surrounded by the san francisco bay, water there. >> there's four ru runways. 281l is 11,000 feet long. there's a rocky threshold before you hit the runway. there's also an instrument landing system as well as visual glide slope indicators that will help the pilot determine the

distance he or she is above the ground. >> have you heard of any incidents involving this runway in particular before? >> no. no. no known incidents that we're aware of, but that's what the ntsb will do. i have a lot of questions. i want to make sure that all of the ground instruments were working creablghworking corrects these pilots, once they get to about 3,000, 2000 feet, they'll twitch from auto pilot to manual controls and glide the plane in themselves. the black box, the flight data recorder, will tell us whether this pilot indeed had done that or whether auto pilot was bringing that plane? >> we did her from i believe -- hear from i believe the fire chief who said with the given weather conditions, it appeared that motives the pilots who were coming in and landing were using the visual flight rules and landing the planes themselves. so just a final word from you. we heard from the mayor of san

francisco earlier said his condolences are going out to the families as well. >> i send the same cond condole. i hope and pray for those in the hospital. we mourn for those that we lost, and we home we can learn something from that so that future passengers are not at risk. >> thank you so much, congressman swalwell. we appreciate it. >> thank you, heather. san francisco international airport is now in partial operation following today's deadly crash of the asiana airlines boeing 777 jetliner. at this hour two landing strips have been reopened. earlier the airport was shut down, forcing airlines to divert flights to other cities. we've got tony valdez from lax. tony? >> reporter: heather, one would not notice much of a difference at lax today. most of the traffic between los angeles and san francisco arrives and departs in the early

morning hours, so most everyone going up there was able to get there before sfo was shut down. southwest airlines, the largest of the carriers on this very busy route, especially on the weekends, had to shut down or had to cancer two o can cancel s flights. there's a couple more scheduled this evening. southwest tells me they're expecting to either take off and land at sfo because of those open runways. if that doesn't work, they'll be sending passengers to san jose and oakland airport which are less than an hour's drive from san francisco. they'll take them there and bus them to san francisco. as far as international flights are concerned, we've had three diverted here, two more could be coming in, but again, they may be able to go up so san francisco if things change. one of those was a flight from china, air change from beijing. on that flight about 300 passengers, they're still at this hour loading them into charter buses, and they'll have

to drive to san francisco. that will take about eight hours, heather. >> thank you so much, tony value deads, joining us from lax live. and that is how fox report for that saturday, july 6th, 2013 ends. i'm heather childers in for harris faulkner. thank you so much for watching. once again, we have been following continuing coverage of this plane crash, an international flight that crash landed in san francisco coming in from south korea. 291 passengers on board along with 16 crew members. two people died in this crash. 306 passengers now, though, accounted for, still one accounted for, still one missing. greta van sustren is next.huma ♪ uch. but that's okay -- you're covered with great ideas like optional better car replacement from liberty mutual insurance. total your car and we give you the money
